Cowboys RB Javonte Williams gave you another solid fantasy line in the Week 3 loss to the Bears, especially in full-PPR scoring. Williams led the team with 76 rushing yards on 10 carries and caught all five of his targets for 16 yards. But he also ceded more playing time to Miles Sanders than in the previous two games. Sanders finished with a 9-41 rushing line and 3 receptions for 12 yards on three targets.
Here's how the snap shares of played out for both RBs through the first three games:
| Week | williams | Sanders |
| 1 | 77% | 18% |
| 2 | 72% | 22% |
| 3 | 59% | 36% |
Williams lost a fumble on Dallas' first possession against Chicago, but that didn't impact his playing time. He took the field again the next drive.
The second half, though, found Williams playing 20 snaps to Sanders' 19. Much of Sanders' work came on the final possession, though, after the Cowboys had pulled QB Dak Prescott.
Sanders drew four of his nine carries on that drive.
That likely means that non-blowouts will find the duo splitting time more like they did the first two weeks. Don't be surprised, though, if Williams does start to lose a bit more receiving work. He's averaging just 4.5 yards per catch so far.
Rookie RB Jaydon Blue has yet to be activated for a game but could become a candidate for receiving work if he proves ready for actual NFL games.
For now, Williams remains a decent PPR option for a Week 4 matchup with the Packers.
